Windproof beach robe: How to keep warm after a swim
A windproof beach robe can make a big difference after a dip in the sea. Even in summer. Because even when the sun is shining, wet skin and a fresh wind can quickly make your body cold. It’s the wind that makes you cold, not always the water.
You might know the feeling: you come out of the water onto the beach, and even though it’s summer, you feel cold immediately. The wind makes you cold and it’s no longer cozy or pleasant to be by the water.
Here a windproof and water-repellent outdoor robe is nice to have ready at the water’s edge. Nordbaek’s premium Thermo-Quilt collection of robes is designed specifically for the capricious Nordic summer. See the collection here.
Why do you feel cold after a summer swim?
It’s not only the water temperature that determines whether you get cold. When the skin is wet, water evaporates from the body and cools you down quickly. At the seaside this is especially noticeable because the wind often picks up.
That’s why a robe for summer swimming can be just as relevant in June and August as on a crisp winter morning. Not because you have to bundle up at all costs, but because comfort after the swim is often what makes the experience enjoyable. That way you can also stay out longer under the open sky.
A simple routine helps: come up calmly, get something warm around your body, breathe deeply and give yourself time to settle after the swim.
A robe gives shelter, warmth and calm on the beach
Sit quietly in your warm and windproof robe with a cup of tea in hand, enjoying that you can stay as long as you like. For women you’ll also find our Windy Ocean Women's Bathrobe which is designed with a windproof outer layer and soft fleece on the inside so the body quickly gets shelter and warmth after the swim. It weighs nothing, and you’ll feel well dressed in it, so you can easily go and get an ice cream or a coffee while wearing it.
For men the Long Beach Men's Bathrobe - Navy is created with the same focus on warmth and freedom of movement, including windproof protection and extra length.
It’s the simple details you notice after a cold dip. When the wind picks up, length and shelter around the body help.
The capricious Nordic summer: What should I wear after a sea swim in summer?
The simple answer is: something that quickly provides shelter, warmth and calm. Preferably have dry change clothes, a towel and your essentials gathered so you don’t have to search for them with cold hands. And a windproof outer shell. Like our Thermo-Quilt robes.
If you swim often, a windproof robe can make the whole routine easier. You can stay a little longer by the water, enjoy the conversation after the swim and avoid the good experience ending in cold and rush.
The best swim is often the one where you don’t have to hurry away, but can stay by the water and enjoy the moment. Where the body is allowed to settle, and the sea’s freshness remains as a pleasant feeling for the rest of the day.
The Nordic summer can be capricious. It’s just about being dressed for it.
Best swim greetings from
